The Making of an SSP STAR

STAR is an acronym for Service, Teamwork, Academics, Religion, Respect, Responsibility.

Soon our 8th Grade students will take to the “virtual stage” for their annual school play and will have a

chance to be a Star. However, every one of our students can be a STAR in the classroom, a STAR in the hall-

ways, a STAR on the playground and in every aspect of their school day. They can be shining stars for the

entire school to see. Like a STAR on the stage, people will have the opportunity to look up to them.

The following are expectations for students to be considered an SSP STAR:

• Set good examples.

• Look out for and help younger students.

• Work cooperatively with teachers.

• Be part of the warm, welcoming atmosphere at SSP School.

• Always show respect for teachers, classmates and most importantly, themselves!

• Someone who embraces this time & these opportunities to have the best school year ever!
